Some organisms undergo asexual reproduction through mitosis, while others reproduce sexually, and their cells undergo meiosis to

produce gametes. If there were drastic changes in temperature in an ecosystem, which process do you predict would be most beneficial to a species? Mitosis: it causes genetic mutations, which may be favorable to the species. Meiosis: it increases genetic variation, which helps ensure the species will survive. Meiosis: it produces more daughter cells, which increases the population of the species. Mitosis: it produces identical offspring, which increases genetic variation.

Answer:

Meiosis: it increases genetic variation, which helps ensure the species will survive.

Explanation:

<em>Crossing over and genetic recombination happen during meiosis and both processes ensure that the daughter cells are genetically variant from the parent cells.</em>

Crossing over and genetic recombination increase the genetic variability of a population and consequently increases their chances of survival in case of changes to the environment.

The thin muscle that separates the thoracic and abdominal cavities is the __________ .
Zanzabum
Answer: diaphragm

Explanation:
The diaphragm separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominal and pelvic cavity.

The diaphragm is a sheet of internal skeletal muscle located below the thoracic cavity that houses the heart and lungs. Below the diaphragm is the abdominal cavity.

The diaphragm plays an essential function for respiration. When the diaphragm contracts, the volume of the thoracic cavity increases so that air is drawn into the lungs.

Temperature inversions occur naturally in the stratosphere and thermosphere, but also occur closer to the surface of earth in th
skelet666 [1.2K]

Temperature inversion or thermal inversion is a phenomenon during which the temperature increase when there is an increase in the altitude. It is an uncommon process that happens in the troposphere-the layer of atmosphere closest to the earth.  

When there is an increase in temperature with altitude that warm air acts as a blockage for the cool air near the surface of the earth. So this is just opposite to the normal behavior of the air, where it becomes cooler with an increase in altitude.

So how air circulation behaves during inversion?

So as we said that the cool air nearer to the earth will be blocked by a layer of warm air. This blockage will hinder the circulation of air upwards from the lower layers. Let’s see how:

• As we know that, warm air is less dense and more buyout than cool air and normally less dense warm air is close to the earth and cool air is in above layers. But when the process is reversed, this warm air acts like a blanket for the proper circulation of air. Due to this, many environmental pollutants which normally leave the earth during air circulation get trapped in our air.  

• The trapped environmental pollutants like nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons get convert into harmful ozone that ultimately deteriorates the quality of air and causes problems like smog.

• The improper air circulation also causes suspension of the harmful gases near the earth instead of allowing them to leave the earth atmosphere. This ultimately causes air pollution.  

• When smoke will not rise, carbon dioxide will be build up in the atmosphere; this will cause greenhouse effect and global warming.

Therefore, air circulation behaves very different during temperature inversion process and poses hazardous effects on global climate.

Hope it helps! :)

Of all the water on the earth, only about 3% is fresh water. 68% of all the freshwater is frozen as glaciers and is unavailable
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is statement A.

Explanation:

The procedure of purifying ocean water, that is, the saline water so that it can become suitable for drinking is termed as desalination. Almost 70 percent of the Earth is covered with water and of this only 3 percent is used for drinking purposes. On a huge scale, the process of desalination would require the boiling of water, which would eventually require an enormous amount of energy.  

Reverse osmosis and electro-dialysis are the methods used for desalination. However, these procedures are very costly and cannot be performed on a huge level as it can affect the economy of various countries.
